I’D RATHER HAVE EXPLOSIVE DIARRHEA THAN TODD BLANCHE
Listen on:
Holy Cyclosporiaaaaaa Batman! This week in Abobolandia was literally a shitstorm. Lizz and Moji have the deets about the confirmation hearings of acting Attorney General Todd Blanche AND your faithful Buzzkills dissect the latest scheme cuntservatives have hatched to try and end mifepristone. Expect Planned Parenthood, E. Jean Carroll, and Lindsey Graham updates, too — this week’s podcast is so juicily whacktastic.
Listen Now
Comedian and activist Jenny Yang stops by to talk about how she’s combined stand up comedy and standing up for immigrant rights by doing a comedy tour performed at immigrant grocery stores!
PLUS! Want more inspiration? Director of Programs and “Abortion Whisperer,” Kenya Martin, from the abortion storytelling collective, We Testify, is in the house! She kikis with the Buzzkills about how our abortion stories are one of the greatest tools we have to change hearts and minds, and that doing that work is the only way we change policy.
Times are heavy, but knowledge is power, y’all. We gotchu.
